The CAF (Africa) playoff picture for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is now taking shape, with four nations set to battle for one coveted spot in the Intercontinental Playoff.
The confirmed teams for the Continental Playoff are:
🇨🇲 Cameroon
🇬🇦 Gabon
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇧🇫 Burkina Faso or 🇨🇩 DR Congo (pending final confirmation)
Only one nation from this group will advance to the Intercontinental Playoff, where they’ll compete against teams from other continents for a place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
It’s a high-stakes showdown — four African powerhouses, one golden ticket to the world stage.
